Welcome to our World Cardmaking Day celebrations

Good Morning! WELCOME to our World Cardmaking Day celebrations!!! We are going to post a new CARD challenge up each hour which will have a different THEME / prompt.

To get the party started we are going to give you a FREEBIE... email info@madformarkers.com.au to request your Kylie Koala SPRING digi (after today she will be available in store for purchase)

As you might guess from this Digi the theme for our first card is SPRING

HERE is a little inspiration for you:

COPIC TECHNIQUE TIP - To get the textured fur look I coloured the Koala with N Greys and then used blender solution on some textured cloth, dabbing it onto the fur.

We'd love to see your SPRING cards.. please leave us a link in the comments here or post on our facebook page :) ON social media please tag @madformarkers or use the hashtag #madformarkersWCMD

Exciting * New Digi Designer * at M4M

Good morning, We have something exciting this week at Mad for Markers!! We have a NEW Digi Designer who has designed some VERY CUTE images which are a delight to colour :) I'm very excited to announce the arrival of "As the Crow Flies" Digis...

I thought it would be fun for you all to meet the lovely designer behind these images:
 
Ardith Trumpy lives in a small farm town west of Chicago, Illinois.  Having been a stay at home mom to three, now grown children, she always seemed to be doodling and sketching their antics.  Having spent years investigating various art media and enjoying many varieties of art, there is always one constant… she always seems to come back to drawing cute little people.
Here is our lovely artist....

As it is now SPRING here in Australia I asked Ardith if she could draw some SPRING-y images and she blew me away! :) Here are some creations previewing two of the new digis that will be available in the Mad for Markers store on WEDNESDAY 5th September :)
